DESCRIPTION

NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.





The heater core (1) for the heating-A/C system is mounted within the HVAC air distribution housing, which is located behind the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes with fins and is positioned within the air distribution housing so that only the selected amount of air entering the housing passes through the heater core before it is distributed through the heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. One end of the heater core is fitted with a tank (2) that includes the fittings for the heater core tubes (3).

The heater core can only be serviced by removing the HVAC housing from the vehicle.
